A debate about whether to repeal the centuries-old Indian Act is back before the House of Commons.
Last week, the Conservatives moved forward with a private members’ bill that would delete several sections of the act as a start towards fully dismantling it.
Now, the Liberals have introduced their own motion calling for talks with First Nations to replace the old legislation with something better suited to current realities.

A debate this country needs to have. While not forced, the idea of the reserves are to be a form of segregation, and I would think in 2012 we would be long past that.
